The house was nice. We got a text that the hot tub was out so they offered a small package and a very small refund for the inconvenience. Seems it’s been out for a while due to other reviews we recently saw. We were notified just a few days before we checked in. The game room in the basement is not what was pictured. It’s a 3-in-1 table that is just a few feet long. So, we spent most of our time by the fire pit. Paid almost four thousand dollars for 2 nights to sit by a fire pit.

What an amazing spacious getaway for a family dog for ages ranging 32 to 84. There was plenty of first floor rooms and bathrooms to accommodate all mobility levels. We do wish we had better planned for the distance from the house to the pool. There was difficulty in transport/distance for our older folks. We enjoyed all areas of the home and fire pit area. We did have some difficulty navigating the driveways at first but figured it out. We went to nearby McAthur to pick up pizza and to Lake Hope Lodge for a lovely dinner. Plenty of room for our little pup as well and just a great place overall. There were some very minor things that would not at all deter us from a revisit - some low lighting in some areas especially common areas; the hot tub was out of service but that was probably for the best with our crew! All in all would absolutely revisit.

Beautiful home and property, overall very clean. Lots of towels and hot showers. Wifi and signal was excellent which is rare for hocking hills. Host is easy to get a hold of and excellent communication. We really loved what this property had to offer and the photos online, however we were dissapointed that many of the amenities advertised were not available.We were notified a few days before our trip that the hot tub was not working, that was a disappointment off the bat, but They did compensate us for that.We were really looking forward to the hiking trails, however all the trails are overgrown to your knees and fallen trees. There wasnt any of the baby gear posted, no highchair, pack and play, baby monitor. No bikes for the kids or basketball for the hoop. The grill didn't have propane, i did message the host and they did come in like 15 mins with a full one. The pool.was low on water so they came to fill that, and we had to keep track and turn it off at 9:30 pm. Outside lights weren't working, had to use flashligts, or the fountain outside. Broken tile walking up to the porch. Zip line missing safery spring. Sofa different, not very comfortable. We really wanted to just get away from everything but everyday people were stopping by, to mow, for the pool 3 times in one day, the propane, a neighbor looking for a package.Overall we had a good time.This property has potential to be the best, but needs some maintenance. Would definitely go again if these things were updated.

Everything was just like the pictures online. We had enough towels, washcloths and toiletries! The home was well stocked. The pool was nice but the pool storage area needed to be organized. We had two issues one was the hot tub wasn’t working and there was no outside lights near the cabana. We were reimbursed for the hot tub not working. I will definitely tell my friends and coworkers about this property!! We really loved the property!!

We also wanted to love this vacation rental. Most of the amenities that were advertised were either not available or broken. The photos were very misleading. The yard and grounds were not kept up. This could be a wonderful place to stay, but it needs a lot of TLC.

Ladies getaway

The women in our family like to get together every few years to visit, shop, eat and imbibe. We found the perfect location. The castle was clean and comfortable. We had an issue with the hot tub (electrical) and were not able to use it but we were compensated. The managing company was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly.

Family reunion

This was beautiful in the photos, and beautiful in person. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, both were clean and in great condition. The short stretch of road to the driveway is a bit steep and not paved, so the car with 2-wheel-drive struggled a bit going up, but the AWD made it easier. BookHocking staff are very easy to reach for help if you need it.

Annual Family Getaway

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. There is plenty of room for large groups, plenty of hot water for showers, (which is always nice ;) kitchen well-stocked. The beds were comfortable, wish we could have stayed longer. Was it perfect, no... can you always find fault, yes, but that can be said of any place, including our own homes. The only thing I would improve on is seating for the dining room. We would stay again in a heartbeat!!!

Really nice are to get away

We enjoyed our stay very much. Very quiet area away from everything but close to a lot. The night sky was beautiful sitting in the hot tub relaxing. Great place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life.

Property was beautiful house and location, kids really enjoyed the zip line. Disappointed in hot tub, 1st night someone came and worked on it it never got above 88 degrees. Propane tank for gas grill was empty, we had to go and buy one in order to grill out.
